I-25 & US 50B Interchange

Project Overview

The I-25 & US 50B Interchange project in Pueblo, Colorado will replace three structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridge structures along the corridor. The project is designed to improve safety, increase operational efficiency, and provide a better travel experience for all users. This includes local residents, long-distance travelers, businesses, freight operators, pedestrians, and cyclists.

The project will construct five new bridges on US 50B meeting current engineering and safety standards, spanning I-25, the Union Pacific Railroad, and Fountain Creek. A Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) will be built to reduce conflict points and minimize T-bone-type crashes by eliminating left-turn movements. Additional improvements include collector and distributor roads from 29th Street, closure of the at-grade railroad crossing at 26th Street, two permanent water quality ponds, and a noise wall on the west side of I-25. The project will also expand Pueblo’s trail system with a new east-to-west pedestrian path connecting to the Fountain Creek Trail.
